Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has spoken publicly for the first time following the initiation of a fresh impeachment process against him by the Rivers State House of Assembly. His remarks, though brief, carried strong symbolic and spiritual undertones, reflecting calmness amid rising political tension in the state.
Speaking during a public engagement, Governor Fubara used a metaphor to describe misunderstandings surrounding his recent actions and statements. He suggested that reactions to his words were driven by a lack of understanding, stressing that noise and opposition often follow what people fail to comprehend. Rather than respond with anger or public confrontation, the governor said he remains composed because of his deep awareness of his identity and faith.
According to Fubara, his decision not to shout or complain is rooted in his belief in divine authority. He emphasized that God remains the highest power guiding his actions, a conviction that gives him confidence even in challenging political moments. His statement appeared to signal resilience and inner resolve as political developments continue to unfold.
The governor’s comments come at a critical time, as the impeachment process has once again heightened political uncertainty in Rivers State. While he did not directly address the allegations or proceedings, his remarks suggest a leader choosing restraint, faith, and patience over confrontation.
